Government & Corporate Evil: Missing & crashed Malaysia Airlines aircraft actually saving the company’s financial ass?

26 July 2014 (14:55 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

Years before MH370 went missing, and MH17 was supposedly shot down, Malaysia Airlines was losing millions of U.S. dollars.  However, the loss of MH370 actually paid off for the troubled airlines, in the form of insurance payouts, mainly from Lloyd’s of London!

Malaysia Airlines is 69% owned by the Malaysian government (through the government investment agency Khazanah Nasional).  Airline officials told the individual stockholders that a plan to turn around the failing company was about to be revealed, that was a few months before MH17 went down in Ukraine.

Western news media have speculated that the air disasters would shutdown the airlines by further reducing revenues, but that’s not the case.  Malaysia Airlines carries insurance to cover such ‘accidents’.  Their insurance provider is a Malaysian company with direct ties to Lloyd’s of London.   Not only do the families of the passengers get payouts, but so does Malaysia Airlines (for the loss of aircraft and crew).

So far this year, Malaysia Airlines revenue losses were greatly reduced from the prior three years.  How?   After all, they have yet to change the way they run their money losing operation, for example, they employ the most people per flight of any other airlines.  Did the insurance payout for the disappeared MH370 go to reducing profit losses?

At the end of 2013 Malaysia Airlines lost $356-million USD, triple what it lost in 2012!  The airlines actually increased revenues, but skyrocketing operating costs outpaced their ticket sales.

Geoffrey Tudor, of Japan Aviation Management Research, says Malaysia Airlines has lost $1.3-billion over the past three years, and is losing an average of $1.5-million per day!  How can they stay in business?

After MH370 went missing an attorney for a U.S. law firm handling insurance payouts stated: “It’s not an issue of whether families will be compensated….We’ve done more than 43 plane crashes and there’s never been a situation like this one, ever.”-Monica R. Kelly

The insurance industry began making payouts immediately after the MH370 fiasco, which is strange because it took two years for a court judge to approve payouts relating to the 2009 Air France crash in the Atlantic Ocean.

Malaysia Airlines itself immediately offered families $5-thousand each, to tide them over until the insurance payouts came through.  And don’t forget that the airlines paid for hotel expenses for families of the passengers.  This from a company that lost $356-million in 2013?

This time the insurance companies are holding off on making payouts on the MH17 crash in Ukraine, mainly because insurance policies have a “wartime” loophole.  However, that usually requires an official government declaration of war.

Is it possible somebody, or some corporation would deliberately cause an accident to cash in on an insurance policy, due to being in financial trouble? Just ask your local Fire Department arson investigator, or even arson investigators who work for the insurance industry.  Or how about police investigators who discover that family members killed off their ‘loved one’ for the insurance money?  Why was MH17 flying directly over an undeclared war zone (looking like a military transport) where several military planes had already been shot down?

World War 3: Germany officially orders spying on the United States and British Empire! Old school typewriters make a big comeback, thanks to U.S. electronic spying!

26 July 2014 (00:32 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

In retaliation for U.S. and U.K. spying on Germany, Angela Merkel has officially ordered spying operations against United States and British Empire, for the first time since the end of the Second World War (1945)!

German Chancellor Merkel has also ordered all U.S. spymasters out of Germany, if any are caught still in Germany they will go to prison!

Merkel grew up in East Germany during the Cold War, and knows first hand what it’s like to be spied on by your own trusted government.  It’d be an understatement to say she’s really pissed at the Obama and Cameron regimes!

The people of Germany are fighting back by dumping electronic forms of communications.  Germans are returning to old fashioned letter writing, and even using old school typewriters.

Typewriter maker Bandermann reports 2013 sales were up by one third, and started advertising that typewriters are “NSA Proof”.

Olympia reports they are selling more typewriters than they have in the past 20 years!  Sales are expected to double this year.  Even the Russian embassy is buying up Olympia typewriters!

German military contractor Diehl is dumping their computers for typewriters!

Germany is not the only country to switch back to older communication technologies, Russia is doing the same thing.

Martial Law U.S.A.: U.S. Army creating new wireless spy system to be tested in Texas and New Mexico!

26 July 2014 (00:11 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

It’s called Distributed Common Ground System-A (DCGS-A).  It’s supposed to integrate various electronic sources, biometric (human traits) data, spy satellites and other sources to spy on the enemy (you).  So far taxpayers have forked over $5-billion USD developing it!

Now some in the Army say it’s a failure, and “not survivable” on the battle field.  The Army even cancelled the planned 2014 testing of the system in Texas and New Mexcio, due to repeated “glitches”.

However, Army officers are pushing Congress to keep funding the project, because of the exponential increase in electronic intelligence that can be gathered: “A company commander today with DCGS-A has 20 times the capability I had as a division commander in 2003!”-General Raymond Odierno

A Company consists of about 100 to 200 personnel, depending on its mission.  A Division consists of 10-thousand to 18-thousand personnel!   Odinero claims that DCGS-A gives the Company commander the electronic spying power 20 times greater than what a Division commander had in 2003!

But for those U.S. citizens concerned about their privacy rights, rest easy for now, because the Associated Press got their hands on a 15 July 2014 Army memo which says the testing op in Texas and New Mexico was canceled due to continued “crashes” of the system.

U.S. Army officials claim they’ll have DCGS-A up and ready for testing in 2015,  of course after spending even more taxpayer money.

World War 3 Afghanistan, 17 – 20 July 2014: U.S. airstrikes increasing! Pakistan behind attack on airport? More proof the U.S. ain’t leaving!

Balkh Province: In Mazar-e-Sharif City, a bomb in a cart was left next to a police vehicle, and exploded.  Several people killed or wounded, dozens of vehicles damaged.

Herat Province: In Obe District, a U.S. led NATO drone airstrike killed 12 people.

Kabul Province: Six Mujahideen attacked the military side of the airport.  The attack lasted several hours, with all Mujahideen killed.  However, the Interior Ministry says attackers are actually from Pakistan, and blamed the government of Pakistan for the attack.   The Ministry of Transportation and Aviation reporting that all airlines operating out of the airport are planning to stop all flights.  Once again, the Interior Ministry reports hundreds of people killed or wounded in the past four days of country-wide battles.  The Independent Election Commission (IEC) has reluctantly started recounting all the votes in the so called “successful” elections (as declared by Obama and the UN).   The vote recount is being overseen by the United Nations and European Union, and also involves NATO/ISAF transporting fraudulent ballot boxes.  Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India have signed a deal to build a massive gas pipeline, known as TAPI.  The TAPI line could carry 33 billion cubic metres of gas, every year.

Kunar Province: In Chapa Dara District, an artillery round landed on a house, killing two children and wounding seven other family members.  Of course the government blames Mujahideen.  However, Kunar officials also claim Pakistan is shelling their province, most recently a ten years girl was wounded after ten artillery rounds from Pakistan impacted where she lives.  In Ghazibad District, local police report that a U.S. drone airstrike killed four people and wounded two.  It might be connected to U.S. airstrikes ongoing across the border in Pakistan.

Laghman Province: In Mehtarlam City, two people killed, 14 wounded by a motorcycle bomb.  Witnesses say it looked like a man was trying to use the motorcycle to transport a box, when it exploded.

Logar Province: U.S. led NATO aircraft bombed Pul-e-Alam City!  At least 16 people dead.  City cops said they called in the airstrike on the people simply because they “looked” suspicious!

Nimroz Province: In Chahar Boraj District, three people killed, three wounded after they drove over a landmine.

China has created a special envoy to Afghanistan, to handle ‘security’ issues.  Chinese officials are fearful of a full U.S./NATO pullout from Afghanistan, because they’ve invested a lot of money and manpower in developing petroleum operations in Afghanistan..

USMC General Joseph Dunford told the U.S. Senate that no U.S./NATO/Afghan military leader involved in the occupation of Afghanistan has ever called for full U.S. military pullout.

The U.S. state of Oregon is sending nearly 1-thousand National Guard militiamen and women to Afghanistan this year, but 25 militiamen were diverted to fight the wildfires spreading through the Beaver State.  What will happen once all the militiamen are in Afghanistan?

World War 3, more proof God is evil: Minutes away from supposed ceasefire & Israel continues to demolish the town of Beit Hanoun! UN gave IDF grid coordinates!

26 July 2014 (23:06 UTC-07 Tango 25 July 2014)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

“Fuck, that was a direct hit on the hospital! That was a direct hit! I have to go now!”-Fred Ekblad, Swede trapped in Palestinian hospital being demolished by Israeli Merkavas

I’m watching live video from Gaza Strip of Israeli artillery shelling of Beit Hanoun, using U.S. built M109 self propelled 155mm guns (IDF is using U.S. made M109s, their own Merkava Battle Tanks and air-strikes to demolish entire neighborhoods).  They are literally targeting every residential building in the town!  It’s building demolition on a grand scale, and this is happening just a few minutes away from a supposed ceasefire!

Yesterday, the peace loving Israelis erased the Beit Hanoun hospital.  It’s at least the third Palestinian hospital the Chosen People of Israel destroyed.  Swedish national Fred Ekblad, who was trapped in the hospital, reported the Israeli attack to Mondoweiss as it happened: “I was standing watching TV, my friends were on the news holding a press conference and a shell from the tank hit the building and broke the glass from the window.  The glass shattered from the window and I got it on my head, not only glass but concrete.” 

Also, Beit Hanoun is where Israel blew up a UN school, being used as a shelter by Palestinians.  UN officials reported they gave Israel Defense Forces (IDF) the grid coordinates of the schools with the understanding they would not be attacked.  UN officials in Beit Hanoun told British empire news media that they called IDF trying to get time to evacuate the people, but the IDF refused to respond to the request!

“We were packing up to leave when the attack happened. We were standing outside when they started hitting us, some of the women holding their babies. My sister-in-law was one of the injured. There were bodies everywhere, most of them women and children!”-Nour Hamid, 17 years old victim of Israeli human sacrifice ritual

“All of us sat in one place when suddenly four shells landed on our heads…Bodies were on the ground, blood and screams!  My son is dead and all my relatives are wounded including my other kids!”-Laila al-Shinbari, victim of Israeli human sacrifice ritual

More proof God is evil: Israel kills 1 Palestinian child per hour! King’s Torah demands it! Israel demands U.S. taxpayers fork over $225-million to help them kill more Palestinians!

Iowa:  In Beardstown, after more than 30 years IGA (Independent Grocers Alliance) hometown grocery store shutdown, 27 jobs lost: “You know Walmart came to Beardstown about five years ago and the business climate, at least for us, has declined because of that big box store. It’s just deteriorated to the point that it’s not profitable to keep the store open.”-Steve Kremer, owner

Massachusetts: What housing market recovery?  Too Big to Jail mortgage/finance holding company State Street killing 400 U.S. jobs this year (145 just in the Bay State) despite $2.5-billion in revenues!   Despite the billions in revenues investors are not happy and said it wasn’t enough!  State Street laid off 700 Bay Staters last year!

Mississippi:  Chapter 11 bankrupt busted Senderson Plumbing Products laid off 100 employees!  The company is also on the auction block, threatening the remaining 130 employees!

Martial Law U.S.A.: U.S. Army Captain in Afghanistan, your career is over! Obama regime culled nearly 2-thousand Army officers! More to come!

25 July 2014 (09:27 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Ramadan 1435/03 Mordad 1393/29 Xin-Wei 4712

It’s being revealed that the Obama regime is culling large numbers of U.S. Army Captains.  This is a significant move, because many Captains (O-3) control combat Companies or Batteries, with about 100 personnel each.

Captains who’ve just arrived in Afghanistan are being fired by the Department of Defense (DoD).  So far 48 Captains have been fired, they’re not even being allowed to serve out their tour of duty in Afghanistan.

But wait, there’s more!  Reports say this is part of a larger culling of 1188 Captains Army-wide!

DoD officials told Washington Post it was about saving money, yet according to Military.com News many of the Captains are not just being ‘laid off’, their careers are being terminated permanently because the DoD is using any infraction, including sexual affairs and intoxicated driving, to permanently fire the Captains.

More ‘firings’ will take place in August!

World War 3 Afghanistan, 13 – 16 July 2014: Afghanistan backs Palestine! Obama regime election scheme declared illegal! More National Guard members turning up dead after returning from Afghanistan! More U.S. taxes wasted!

Balkh Province: In Mazar-e-Sharif City, a radio show host was assassinated.  Local police say they have no clues as to who did it.

Faryab Province: In Bandar District, Mujahideen report they’ve liberated 95% of the district.  Afghan government forces, and contracted security guards have holed up in the fortress of a local pro-government warlord.

Ghazni Province: In Gilan District, Mujahideen say they repelled a large U.S.-NATO/Afghan National Army (ANA) offensive.  11 occupyiers/ANA killed.  One Mujahid killed and five Mujahideen wounded during an airstrike.   Civilians were also killed and wounded.  In Zana Khan District, reports that a recon UAV (drone) crashed.  Mujahideen claim they captured the wreckage.

Herat Province: In Gozara District, four employees of a U.S. based NGO was captured.  So far nobody is demanding any ransom.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, two rockets detonated in the Khair Khana area, but nobody was hurt.  Another rocket exploded near the Kabul airport.  In the 5th district of the city, an apparent car bomb exploded, wounding five people.  Mujahideen say they placed a magnetic bomb on a military bus.  In the 12th district a vehicle belonging to the Presidential Palace exploded, killing two people inside.  Once  again, the Interior Ministry reports hundreds of people killed or wounded in the past few days of battles between government forces and Mujahideen.  The Independent Election Commission (IEC) says it cannot move forward with the Obama regime brokered election scheme because it violates Afghan law!   In a unanimous decision, the Afghan government voted to send Gaza Strip $500-thousand USD to help them fight the anti-semitic Israelis (Arabs are Semites too, you dumb-ass Goyim)! Despite billions in tax money from other countries being spent in Afghanistan to supposedly improve life, hospitals still lack proper facilities for prenatal and infant care, resulting in continued high death rates.

Kunar Province: Government officials say Pakistan fired 61 artillery rounds into their province.  They also say Pakistani aircraft bombed areas in the province.  Five people killed, 11 wounded.

Nangarhar Province: In Jalalabad City, a kamikaze bomber used his Toyota Corolla to attack a NATO convoy.  Local government officials reported an undisclosed number of people killed and wounded.  There are reports that a second explosion took place a few minutes after the first.

Paktia Province:  ANA troops killed 19 people, they claim they were all kamikaze bombers.

Paktika Province:  In Orgun District, a kamikaze bomber blew up his massive car bomb, killing 89 people and wounding at least 110!   Mujahideen say they had nothing to do with it, suggesting it was a government False Flag op.

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reveals even more waste of U.S. tax dollars.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spent $1.57-billion constructing buildings for the ANA.  Many are not being used because they’ve been declared fire traps, because of the flammable foam insulation used.  Two buildings have already burned to the ground.  It will cost U.S. taxpayers $60-million to fix!  The Department of Defense is spending billions giving the ANA four large C-130 transport aircraft.  Two have already been delivered, but SIGAR determined they are not being used, so why give them two more?

The Army National Guard’s 1103rd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (Alabama U.S.A.) returned from Afghanistan.

In the U.S. state of Maryland, a member of the Air National Guard, who served twice in Afghanistan, was found dead by Aberdeen Proving Grounds police.  He had been missing for several days.  Supposedly he had gone fishing, but his boat turned up abandoned in the Chesapeake Bay.
